Run MySQL as admin

I said I had it working on Windows Vista which means I had to run it as an Administrator. I know a lot about computer and probably more than a lot of people here.(Not in coding terms but as knowledge of the operating system.)

If you did, you wouldn't be calling Vista a piece of shit. It's a great operating system IF YOU CAN WORK WITH IT.

Please elaborate on your problem, it's damn well vague.

It's not Kirth, it doesn't know how to handle the computer power..

Imo Vista is a piece of crap.

Even Bill Gates himself realised how big a pile of digital junk it was.

But aside from that.
What kind of error messages do you get? (If any)

I think we need a bit more info if possible :3

If you say it sucks give a reason.
I don't like it either but anyway...
if you are so good at computers go fix your own problem
Why don't you just give it a try?
Run it as admin just do it...

The way I fixed the problem in the past was to foward my ports. Which I have done. I even opened the ports in my Firewall. The error number is: 1045 which is Access denied for user root at localhost blah blah blah using pass yes.

I do remember that I used Version 6 instead of 5.1 because that was the only one that would work at the time. maybe I should try using it again if I can not fix sed problem.

Sure fire way:
Uninstall mysql.
Add/remove programs -> uninstall mysql.
Find any process of mysql -> kill it.
Restart computer.
Install mysql 5.1.
Restart computer to take affect.
Create instance.
Huzzah!

Now my computer can't even create a stupid service...

... Saying "it can't create a service" means nothing without an error to show for it.
What does said error say?

Sure fire way:

1. Shoot yourself in the head
2. Step away from the computer
3. If still living, restart your modem/router.
4. Uninstall MySQL, and delete the folder in Program Files
5. Press CTRL+ALT+DELETE and make sure no instances of mysql-d, or -nt are running on your process list.
6. Install again, if it still doesn't work, shoot yourself in the head again.

I would suggest someone use teamviewer to help me...

Windows 7 is quite buggy and might not be able to handle MySQL just yet.... I really want to get a server setup again and I hate vista. Plus XP is just... too... old. I love XP it's just I don't feel like using it again.


EDIT: NVM I fixed it. I knew I had the wrong MySQL installed. Thanks anyways guys <3(no homo)
